Chapter5: Thank You and Goodbye
Rain started falling from the sky, falling hard.
"You think I'm enjoying this? You think I like blacking out and waking up amongst lifeless bodies of people I had once known? I've tried taking my own life, but every time I come too close, this damn arm starts controlling what I do! I don't wanna live anymore, but I can't even take my own life. I'm stuck, I can't do it alone. Roy will you grant me one wish, not as your fellow alchemist, but as a friend?"
Mustang knew what he meant. "Oh Edward I couldn't do that. I've never killed anyone."
Edward yelled back enraged, "Neither had I, until I got this damn arm." Ed pulled a knife from inside his coat and handed it to Roy. "Please Roy, I'm begging you, each day is a living nightmare for me." He dropped down to his knees. "Please, please…" Ed was crying a lot, and so was Roy. Mustang dropped down to his knees and hugged Ed.
"I'm sorry Ed, please forgive me." Roy took the knife Ed had given him and stuck it in his heart. "You're a brave man, I'm sorry to see you go. Good bye Edward Elric."
Ed started gasping for breath clutching the knife in his heart. "Good bye Roy. Thank-" Ed's hands fell to the ground and the last breath of life left in him had gone.
Roy laid Ed on the ground and took the knife out of his body. He stared at it , shocked that he had actually done what he thought he had done. He threw the knife on the ground and said, "Goodbye old friend, until we meet again." Mustang then saluted Ed's body and walked away.
